Location, location, location. The timeless advice on buying property can also be linked to truffle cultivation. Here at Mycorrhizal Systems we believe seed provenance to be really quite important. Many of our new plantations are started with a proportion of the planting stock grown from locally sourced seed. An example of this is our plantings in Baltic countries. The majority of the plantations are still planted with seed that we have tried-and-tested and proven to be an excellent host, but the percentage produced with attention to provenance is important for a number of reasons. Not only are we expanding our database of how well seeds from different areas perform, but we’re also looking very closely at the impact of provenance on the potential of a truffle orchard. We can contract grow, so no matter where you are located we should be able to offer you a locally-sourced seed option.
